70% to passWhich of the following actions would motivate employees by making their job intrinsically more rewarding?
AProviding clear performance objectives and setting of concrete, specific, challenging goals.
BProviding timely performance feedback and acknowledging progress on a daily, regular basis.
CChanging the job routine to instill a feeling being challenged or achieving an accomplishment.
DRewarding employee performance through the reward system available to you as a manager.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Changing the job routine to instill a feeling being challenged or achieving an accomplishment. Explanation: Intrinsic motivation, which makes a job more rewarding, comes from the work itself - the sense of challenge, autonomy, and accomplishment it provides. Changing the job routine to introduce new tasks or responsibilities that require employees to learn and grow can enhance this intrinsic motivation. This is more effective than solely relying on external rewards (choice D) or even clear goals and feedback (choices A and B), which are important but do not directly address the inherent meaningfulness of the work.
